I am also happy having recent drivers from Nvidia that works good enough to also never see any problem in 5+ year history related to GPU card. After tremendous work done by GNOME users to tweak gnome-shell I have never had a freeze / hang up since three years on Ubuntu.
favouring snap over apt, complete lack of a proper GUI for managing installed software/packages, sometimes missing packages that are on Debian but not on Ubuntu (though, the deb file can be downloaded and installed with a single command). I don't like many decision they have made, e.g. Ubuntu still feels like a polished Debian for a typical computer user, which has many of pre-configuration made that non-techies and not-that-much-knowledgable persons will love. > I have found that a lot of people _think_ Ubuntu is safe/stable.Īs a 10+ years long user of Ubuntu and its derivatives (currently Pop_OS!) I would say I know it is stable. Users are very creative in their workarounds to make it work, but it is ultimately quite silly that you need to use special URL schemes and workflows to open a text file across different apps. Now I look at macOS and iOS and cringe how locked down it all is. Since then not much has changed because not much needed changing, which I really like. At first I spent a day or two getting things just right. All my expensive apps were replaced with simple and free, much more configurable alternatives. What had taken me hours to install and configure on macOS (GPU-acceleration for PyTorch, for example) just worked with one package install on Linux. My eyes opened to Linux and i3 in particular, which looked like Magnet taken to the extreme.
Two weeks later Mojave came out, and Apple never approved any Nvidia drivers from then on. I built a desktop computer that outperformed the top of the line Mac Pro for a fraction of the cost and turned it into a Hackintosh. I thought it was great.īut then during my AI studies I wanted some beefier hardware, which was just not affordable for me within Apple’s ecosystem, plus they only used AMD graphics cards. I used Alfred and had all kinds of workflows in there. On macOS I had a little program called Magnet to snap windows to sides and corners, and on my iPad (with external keyboard) I SSH’d into a VPS to write and run code there.
